Lavender Eyelet Flower Girl Dresses

Today, my girls had the privilege of being involved in a special wedding. I made three dresses using the Cottage Mama’s Party Dress tutorial. The bride’s sister-in-law made very sweet baskets full of real and faux flowers.
As the dress was eyelet, I lined the entire garment for modesty. The rhinestone flowers are from fleuriste’s Etsy shop. The addition of the flower gives the garment sort of a “boutique touch.”
I made one dress in size 5, another in size 7 and size 8. Over six yards of eyelet was involved and took up most of this pew.
Lots of covered buttons. A few bubbles.
Today, was one of those “that’s why I sew days.”

3 dresses ! wow, i'm impressed ! that must have kept you busy for a bit of time :) they turned out lovely... the flower girl in my wedding was a handmade dress from white eyelet, so i'm a huge fan of eyelet :)

Hi KJ..the lilac is lovely..it is my new discovery in colours..the whole purple range of shades. I went to an 80th birthday yesterday which featured lilac too and it was beautiful as well. Your dressmaking skills are outstanding, the covered buttons really make the backs so professional looking and the kids are sweet.

What a lot of hard work, but the results are definitely worth it. Lucky bride having you and your skills because the dresses are beautiful and could easily revival anything from a top quality dressmaker. I imagine your lovely girls made a very pleasing addition to the wedding - my girl is desperate to be a bridesmaid.

Wow! You used eyelet for the dresses!!Well I must say the girls are gorgeous and I am sure they were pretty excited to be bridesmaids :) The dresses are beautiful and the sash with the lovely flowers is a fabulous touch! I love the pattern you used and am feeling a bit sorry that Eva will not wear dresses like this anymore :/

Pretty as a princess! Perfect for a wedding day! And I think the photo booth you made was way cool. How much fun they must have had in the make believe castle/fort. I would have so enjoyed that as a kid. You are created magic moments for your children that will live on with them for the rest of their lives. They are blessed to have you as their mama ;-)
